UPDATE: THE STATE GOVERNMENT IS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCING THAT AS FROM TODAY, JULY 1, 2025, SALE AND USE OF STYROFOAM AND SINGLE-USE PLASTICS IN LAGOS STATE IS NOW PROHIBITED AND ANYONE FOUND CULPABLE WILL BE PROSECUTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STATE’S ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.(PHOTOS). #PRESS RELEASE.


 Lagos State as a coastal state realises the enormous dangers that styrofoam packs and single-use plastics of less than 40 micron causes our drainage channels and ecosystem causing blockages and compelling the state government to channel funds that should be deployed for provision of other social services to clearing of debris from our drains. 


It is on this note that the state government is officially announcing that as from today, July 1, 2025, sale and use of styrofoam and single-use plastics in Lagos State is now prohibited and anyone found culpable will be prosecuted in accordance with the state’s environmental laws.


Let me also emphasize that any market/store that is found storing or engaging in the sale and distribution of the single-use plastics (less than 40 microns) will be sealed up by our enforcement agency and the items confiscated.


This ban is expected to move the state towards realization of reduction of the quantum of waste generated in the state and at our different landfill sites, many of which are in the process of decommissioning.
